Well, you can copy the linux termcap entry to a file $HOME/.termcap and you
can make a $HOME/.terminfo directory, and then a $HOME/.termcap/l directory
under that. Copy the linux terminfo file into that last directory.
Then, set your environment for your shell... set TERMCAP to
$HOME/.termcap and TERMINFO to $HOME/.terminfo (not the whole path to the
file...terminfo works slightly differently). Then set TERM to linux via
whatever mechanism your shell prefers.
Or, you can have your remote sysadmin install the termcap/terminfo entries
you provide, and just set TERM. :) I included the above in case that's
not feasible due to lazy/clueless sysadmin syndrome.
